New bow, need stabilizer and sight recommendations (Need a rangefinder now)

[John B]

I bought the Hoyt Defiant Turbo today, swapped my accessories over from the old bow but thinking I should upgrade my stabilizer and possibly the sight.

Stabilizers I'm looking at are Fuse carbon torch, Bee Stinger and Limbsaver Hunter Pro
I like the idea of a stabilizer with the option of adding weight to the end, the new bow is top heavy, especially with the bow mounted quiver
I'm thinking 10" stabilizer

I like my sight, but it is a 3 pin. I'm trying to find 2 additional pins and keep it, but if I can't I'll probably buy a new sight. Any recommendations?

I've been looking at the Stokerized SS1 G2 stabilizer for my new Halon.

For a site I've been looking at a 5 pin Montana black gold ascent slider site. Really just want the ability to practice longer range shots.

Good luck!

Stabilizer, You have a few great options depending on your method of hunting....
The few Id recommend. 

In order...
1. Trophy Ridge 9 Static Stabilizer.
2. Beestinger 8 Pro Stabilizer.
3. Trophy Taker Quivalizer (Depends on your hunting style and quiver option)

I've got a 10 inch Doinker dish is make you a good deal on. It has 8 stainless steel weights and a quick disconnect. Shoot me a pm if your interested.

Doinkers are very adjustable stabilizers and you can add or decrease the weights on them.

Sights, many good ones out there these days. I use a Trophy Taker Option 8, built like a tank, has fixed pins and a single mover. Shot my elk with the fixed pins, opened up the sight and used my mover on my mule deer at 76, just dialed it up and let him have it.

I have a lot of different bows.  Enough the wife is constantly complaining about them.  I use a half dozen different arrow rests, arrow shafts and sights.  But there is only one choice of stabilizer that I have used for the past decade - Sims Modular.  I can adjust the modules and add length to fit every single bow I have perfectly.  Hoyt, Bear, Martin, G5, PSE, Elite, Sims, Bowtech, Blacks, Xpedition...doesn't matter to me.  I still use the same stabilizer and support a local Washington company.

I use Limbsaver stabilizers and Spot Hogg sights. Both Pacific Northwest companies that stand behind there product!

What are you wanting to achieve with the stabilizer? Are you wanting to take some vibration out of your bow? balance it out a better? Slow down your pin drift? If you are looking to offset the weight of the quiver you might want to consider something like a Doinker Tactical stabilizer. Off set the weight of the quiver and be able to adjust the weight forward or back of the riser. I was really eyeing them before I got a Quivalizer. My backup bow has an 8" Fuse Carbon Connection on it and it does take vibration out of my bow, but doesn't do much else than that. For a fixed 5 pin sight I'll always love my Armortech HD. Tons of adjustments on it, easy to use, easy to fine tune, and have never had an issue with it. Lots of options to choose from and the only person that knows what will be best for you is you. Have fun finding the perfect setup!

Thanks for the recommendations, I just ordered the Limbsaver AWS. Still hoping to find two additional pins for my Hoyt pro series sight, if I can't I'll probably get the spott hogg

I like Spot Hogg for sights and releases. I've had a couple Axion SSG style stabilizers on the last couple of bows and am pretty happy with them. If you're a Veteran you can get a lifetime Professional Bowhunter account on Eders and you'll get a 30-40% discount on Spot Hogg stuff and about 20-25% off Axion.
